A Study to Examine the Relationship Between Mothers’ Psychosocial Status and Pregnancy Outcome

Pregnancy is the most wonderful experience of a woman’s life. A mother’s physical fitness is just as important as her mental health. A non-experimental and correlational study was conducted to examine the relationship between mothers’ psychosocial status and pregnancy outcome among 50 antenatal mothers in their third trimester. The aim of the study is to assess the psychosocial status of antenatal care (ANC) mothers, assess the pregnancy outcome, and find out the correlation between psychosocial status and pregnancy outcome. Result: In this study, using the ALPHA scale to assess the psychosocial status of antenatal mothers, the majority of them had a higher psychosocial score, and some had a middle psychosocial score, but none had a low psychosocial score. Conclusion: From this study, we conclude that there was an association between psychosocial status and pregnancy outcome.
